you competed against people your level
then there was somewhat of a semifinal against the winners in a 3 level range

some of the upper levels competed in ranges of 4 or 5 levels because there weren't enough people to compete

I think Chris was the winner since though Pullo gave it to him (no way chris could have really won) I think the highest levels back then were mid 30's

the total prize pool was 499k

each fight was best 3 out of 5 and the winner moved on in a bracket style format


it was a lot of work getting people coordinated and in the end the complaints outweighed the compliments for a FREE contest for FREE money

you'd almost have to combine levels now, though. sounded like it was fun.
